I spend a lot of time with these people and see where they are coming from in their art. I even recognize some villages. The depictions of the food, although simple, is also stylized but I can guess what they are cooking or eating.
I like your cookbook idea. If I ever get round to investigating all the local minorities' foods and write it up, I'll look into having relevant folk art illustrations. Also the calendar suggestion. I'd hang one on my wall. But the museum is hopelessly inept at cashing in on even their most popular exhibitions, so I'm not holding my breath.
